Nice video there. I guess some of you "sporty's" are human after all. ;-)

Hey Tim, your best one yet!
Ben
Noted! Heh-heh. Thanks. I appreciated the YouTube comment, as well.
Thanks, Ben!
I do not think my friend and riding buddy has reached your level, but you
may be interested in seeing a couple of his vids on youtube. We get after it
quite a bit up here in the Ventura, LA, Kern, and Santa Barbara County
areas. We're out most every week riding somewhere.
Here's his Youtube site:

I'm in a bunch of 'em, the geek on the '06 ST. ;-)
I could watch onboard footage all day long. In fact, I ordered a new
suction-mount steady cam rig last week for just this very purpose.
Thanks for the link!
I'm not sure if you were taking the piss or being serious. If the former,
the vid was excellent, if the latter, well....

How do you manage to get round corners and keep the bike vertical? And you
should get your pal to hang his head in shame, a CAR overtook him.
I'm unfamiliar with your strange British euphemism, but I assume
"taking the piss" means doing something in jest. Actually, I made the
vid to boost the esprit de corps of the group members. There's been a
lot of in-fighting going on and I just wanted to remind them that
we're all 'on the same team', so to speak.
Just spreading a little good will and hopefulness. But being European,
I can see how you'd be culturally adverse to any non-cynical
message. ;)

Happens. Not sure what video you're referring to. There must be a hundred of
the things.
Gotta seperate the wheat from the chaff! ;-)
It#s beyond art, it's a whole new area of physics.

Top right on the collumns o the right hand side of the link that was posted.
And cars CAN'T overtake bikes, it's just not possible.

If it's all chaff, you've nothing left:-)
It was the commentary I was chuckling at.

Ahh, you WERE being serious :-) And you should know, being cynical is one of
the Reeky Laws.
Get the fuck out of here. In this green and pleasant we know ALL your slang
phrases, but we're continuslly flumoxxed that you don't know any that aren't
from your own back yard.

Better, but the examples are a piss take.

That's just a lot of fanny. (Oh dear, more searching?:-))

In my opinion, your narration was pretty good, but the content
was a little over the top. Riding a motorcycle and enjoying it is
really quite a simple concept, but you seemed to portray it as
something very unique and esoteric. It's really no different than
any number of hobbies or activities people get into.
Maybe you should try to find out why your riding buddies are
irritable and confrontational and work on that. I enjoy riding,
but I certainly don't need to ride to maintain peace of mind.
Healthy food, lots of water, sleep, exercise, sex, and drugs
are all ya need. But motorcycles definitely help... <g>

Here's what happens to steel framed buildings exposed
to raging infernos for hours on end.
http://davesweb.cnchost.com/nwsltr69c.html
On 9-11-01, WTC7, a 47 story steel framed building, which
had only small, random fires, dropped in perfect symmetry
at near free fall speed as in a perfectly executed controlled
demolition.

Well, I know what we mean by that but I'm not sure it translates straight
across. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. This site made me think of our
wayward astronaut.

I can't provide a lionk for this, but I read this week in one of the bike
magazines that a helmet manufacturer has a cam mount built into a helmet.
I'll see if there's a URL with the article, but I don't remember seeing one.
That's "Bollocks" and there're two type. If it's just "Bollocks", it's bad
but if its the "Dogs bollocks" it's extremely good.

Crackning one OFF the wrist. Cracking the wrist is what happens shortly
after highsiding a bike, I've been lead to believe :-)

In this case "Fanny" is the same as "almost bollocks". It's got fuck all to
do with arses (asses) and lots to do with "front bottoms"

The piss artist, you mean? ;-)))
You forgot "Rock & Roll"
Well THAT's good to know as it wouldn't be good to get those two confused.

I was with you tilll "front bottoms". I think I had better not even
attempt the language should I ever actually make it over there for a
visit.

I still remember telling my wife's parents "hello" when I should have been
saying "goodbye" It's been 25 years but I still cringe when I think of
that. But yeah, I think she excels at being a piss artist.

Think about "front bottoms" and where you'd likely find one. Then tik about
what a REAR bottom looks like and you've got your explanation.
You should also watch the film "The 51st State" (or mybe it was "Formula 51"
over there. Samuel L Jacko and Robert Carlylse are the two stars and it's a
real dog's bollocks of a film. It explains a few phrases too. Sort of.

When my missus first arrived on these shores, she wasn't 100% aut fait with
the English, so I took great delight in telling her how to ask for things or
say things to people. Example "Ask the man in the shop for 20 fucking
Embasy" (a cigarette brand) and so she would Word for fucking word.
Another example at the weekly baby clinic... "When the doc asks how the baby
has been this week jst tell him" "He's been a real little bastard". She
did. Word for word:-)
My doc asked me why she spoke like that and I just pissed myself. He had NO
sense of humour that doc.
